British Royal Family to Play a Big Role in Trump's Upcoming Visit to the UK
President Donald Trump's three-day state visit to the U.K. next month will be dominated by events with Britain's royal family, according to a new schedule released Friday by Buckingham Palace.
The prevalence of events with members of the royal family this time may also reflect a deeper understanding on the part of Trump's British hosts about what the president personally enjoys doing while on foreign trips. Lavish ceremonial and cultural events on prior trips elsewhere have pleased and impressed Trump to a great extent, and he has spoken glowingly of military parades and royal ceremonies he has experienced on other foreign trips. This time around, the heir to the British throne, Charles, Prince of Wales, and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, will also play hosts. Also underscoring the personal nature of Trump's June trip is the fact that the president plans to bring all four of his adult children with him to the U.K. for the state visit, a White House official confirmed to CNBC on Friday. The optics of Britain's royal family hosting the extended Trump family are likely to create just the kind of imagery the president is known to appreciate. Below is an abridged list of the events Trump is expected to attend in the U.K. that will feature members of the royal family, according to the Buckingham Palace schedule.

Knowing how close Harry (especially) but also William is to Obama, that should be interesting. Sorry, guys! 
So, will Trump say something horrendous about Princess Diana, mock William's balding head, or trip the Queen? I'm dying with embarrassment already.  |

Surely a crude remark about Diana or a racist crack about Meghan would earn a swift response from Harry.

Meghan will not be in attendance to see Malaria or fatso. She's on maternity leave, but you can BEST bet that if Michelle and Barack were going over across the pond, she'd spend some quality time with them. Meghan's a good friend of tennis star Serena Williams who said she's met/seen Archie of Sussex. Meghan absolutely LOATHES the big, fat, orange, sexually-abusing, pathologically lying, racist, law-breaking treasonous asshole tRump, and even though I'm not really into all things Royak, her seeming to 'miss' his State Visit on purpose, it makes me like her even more IF she's not going to even ;ay eyes on and throw up
